Floor


We decided that it was time to get rid of our awful living room carpet last time we cleaned it, as there were so many spots that would not come clean that it looked like a dalmatian! So Marcelo did a little paint job on the side and we got the money to put down hard wood- we found some bamboo on Craigslist for really cheap, and were able to get the rest that we needed for half price, so we went ahead and did it a few weekends ago... Here are a few pictures of the process and the finished floor. I am absolutely amazed at the things that my honey can do when he decides to- with no outside help! I love the floor, and it is so much easier to keep up than the carpet was. And we really like the way that bamboo looks, it's beautiful!

Decidimos que ya era tiempo de cambiar la alfombra fea de nuestro living la última vez que intentamos limpiarla, porque habían tantos manchitas que no salían que ya parecía dalmata. Así que Marcelo hizo un pololito y así ganamos el dinero para poner unpiso de madera. Encontramos bambu en una pagina web por muy barato, y pudimos conseguir la otra mitad que necesitabamos por la mitad de precio, así que lo hicimos hace unos fines de semana... Aquí hay unas foros del proceso y el piso terminado. Me asombran las cosas que mi esposo puede hacer cuando decide que quiere, sin ayuda de otros. Me encanta el piso, es mucho mas facil de mantener que la alfombra, y realmente nos gusta mucho como se ve, es hermoso!

Your husband is amazing. He needs to teach my husband how to do that. Alin looks so much like you. I know you don't think so, but when I look at her I think of you. She is beautiful. See you tomorrow.
